Order 2024 G05 X5 xDrive 50e Hybrid PHEV from Canada Alberta
Hello,
I ordered 2024 X5 hybrid from Spartanburg US and it was in production as promised by my dealership during Week 41/October 9. Now it is stuck for a week in FINAL ASSEMBLY. I called dealership and was told it is awaiting to be shipped. Then the question I asked myself, why the status doesn’t change to “Ready for Transport or Awaiting Shipment”? I tried calling BMW phone number but they have absolutely no clue about Canadian orders (very strange). I’m wondering, if anybody in the same situation, was my X5 really built or did they find issue during final assembly and can’t send it? And I’m also wondering if anybody has any info, how long does it usually take to ship from Spartanburg to Alberta Canada? Any info is appreciated. Thank you! |

Welcome to the forum, you should be fine. If you reached Final Assembly that means it has ben assembled and passed the QC checks. Final Assembly is mainly putting on the protection for shipping. The online status is not updated in real time so there is a lag between what actually happens and the status being updated to show it.

Thank you for your reply. This is what I was hopping for. Now I just would like to figure out if there are any delays with the shipment for week 41-42 and does it really take over a month to get it to Alberta Canada?

Yes, it should take about a month or so to get there. That is just a little more than it takes to get delivered to the Washington area.

Ordered: August 17, 2023 Order Received: August 30, 2023 Production Begins: September 07, 2023 Entering Assembly: September 20, 2023 Final Assembly: September 21, 2023 In Transit: September 22, 2023 by train Arrived at Concord Autoport: October 04, 2023 Delivery to Dealership: October 06, 2023 by transport Pick up from Dealership: October 14, 2023 I was able to track everything while at BMW plant; however, once on the train, I couldn’t get any info. I used the transport tracking to see when it was going to be sent to the dealership. BMW Canada couldn’t give me any info on arrival by train and neither could BMW US since they can’t access any Canadian builds. Good luck! |

I was just told by sales person (two weeks after it switched to “In Transit”) that the vehicle is still in Spartanburg and is waiting for to be loaded onto train. He said it will be here in Alberta Mid of November as planned (which is literally two weeks from now). He also mentioned that once X5 is loaded it will take 2-3 only to get here by train. I find it suspiciously strange. Can this be true or should I expect at least another 2 weeks delay since it is not loaded yet? May it is loaded and the dealership is not aware of it yet. Don’t know what to believe. |

Plus bumper was damaged and now it needs to go to bodyshop. I'm wondering about two things: 1. Does the damage during shipment happen quite often or it is rather an odd case? 2. It will likely require just repaint, but I'm wondering if my vehicle will not be accident free (on record) anymore. Sales rep guaranties that it is not counted as it was in accident. Hopefully he is correct. The whole situation was a disappointment, but well, will have to wait. Hopefully bodyshops put priority on dealer's (sold) vehicles. On the other hand I will take delivery likely not any sooner than next month which may get different interest rates. It hasn't change for three months and hopefully it gets a bit lower for December. I wonder, does BMW reduce rates in December? |
